Where is "Tech-Man"?

I heard Jim deicded to take his boat out and sub contract for the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

I guess he needed to get into an easier business.

He was exporting a lot of electronics at one time. I think he may have retired. I sent him a text message earlier today on his old cell phone number and never got a response.

He never did unlock and return 3 vista128 panels for me and he has many complaints filed with florida attorney genrals office which pop up as unresolved

Last I heard he was involved in a re-shipping business, I think people from outside the US would buy stuff on from sellers on ebay who won't ship overseas and have it shipped to Jim. He would then re-ship it to the overseas destination.

I believe a lot of fraud can occur with the re-shipper stuck in the middle.

I only had one transaction with Jim and that went without a hitch.

Ebay will act as a re-shipper. I've sold stuff internationally thru Ebay before.

I also sell custom manufactured work internationally direct. Sometimes a customer will use a transfer company. Sometimes I ship direct. Really have not had any problems. Most of the time when a customer is using a transfer company its to consolidate multiple orders from different sources. For countries that charge a flat VAT on all purchases it saves on freight. For countries with a threshold to trigger custom duties it can be a wash or even sometimes more expensive to consolidate orders.

Selling internationally can be a tricky, but if you do a little research and do things the right way you can stay out of trouble and make some money too. I've got good customers right here in the USA, but some of my top customers are also in Australia and Europe.

P.S. I heard an authoratative third party interferred with his Jim's shipping business making it impossible for him to complete transactions for several months, and then went away oblivious to the harm their unwarranted activity had caused.

I cannot believe he would just let his tech manuals operation just die on the vine........ Is anyone going to pick it up??

Jim Rojas was in jail until December of 2020, actually. He got caught in some weapons charges IIRC. I don't know if he's going back into business though.

That's over stated. He exported a scope. I don't even think he was aware it was covered under weapons export restrictions at the time. It was wrong. He did it. While technically it might be considered a weapons charge its a bullshit way to state it.

Jim is out and working on other businesses ideas. Not the export business though. We chat from time to time.
